Timeout caming a bit too late
that is my pet peeve with Keith Smart. he is slow to recognize when momentum is shifting and waits too long to put the starters back in. this usually happens during crucial periods. frickin frustrating! down 4 like 2 seconds ago then it becomes a 12 pt lead because he waits too long to put an end to stagnation.

They are our only 2 players that are still in "plus".
It's not problem in them, it's how Smart used rotation in the end. He did good in the first half, but he had some weird lineups in second, and in crucial times.
30 points in the second half so far...what more to say? And FG percentage below 30%, in the second half.
Again Celtics def is good overall team defense all five of their starters can play team def. They don't steal the ball but they always front the players they are guarding, challenge the shots throughout the game. Warriors def can't handle PG who can run the team with pieces around the PG. David Lee is not an all star Stern put him in for reserve an under size PF who gives you hustle I like it, but not for what we are paying for his contract. He can't guard bigger 4 who is athletic and have the same Rebounding mentality as him.

Warriors are often off position on defense, cause of double teaming (which is a lot of times uncalled for), and because they are trying to jump the ball. That's why we can see Ray Allen standing all alone in the corner waiting to sink one more three pointer.
And, I like Lee, I really do, but somehow, I'm getting more and more pissed. Two reasons, first one being that he's unable to score from the inside when there's someone just near him, and the second, that he can't grab rebounds consistently. I saw more 5 rebound games from him than 10+.
Acie Law played way too much, Smart better have let Bell in for some time, cause Law gets lost/crazy after a while. Radmanovic played too little, but for some reason, he was in when the game was on the line, Monta was off, Reggie as well.
Nobody was hitting any shots tonight.
